Consume Ajax API (v.0.1.2)

Actions242

Overview

This node, named "Ajax," is designed to interact with a specific Ajax API (version indicated in the description). It supports multiple resources and operations, including Access Control management. The particular operation "Unbind Access Control Entity From Hub" allows users to dissociate an entity from a hub within the access control system.

Common scenarios for this node include managing security or access control systems where entities (such as devices, users, or other components) need to be dynamically linked or unlinked from hubs. For example, if a device is no longer part of a certain hub's network, this operation can be used to unbind it programmatically.

Practical example:

  • A security administrator wants to remove a user’s access device from a specific hub after the user leaves the organization.
  • An automation workflow that cleans up access control configurations by unbinding obsolete entities from hubs.

Properties

Name Meaning
User Id The unique identifier of the user performing or related to the unbinding action.
Hub Id The unique identifier of the hub from which the entity will be unbound.
Entity Id The unique identifier of the entity that needs to be unbound from the specified hub.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the unbinding operation. This typically includes confirmation of success or failure, and may contain details about the updated state of the hub or entity after the operation.

If the node supports binary data output, it would relate to any files or media returned by the Ajax API, but based on the provided code and context, the primary output is structured JSON reflecting the API response.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Ajax API service.
  • Depends on internal modules handling HTTP requests, state management, and operation resolution/execution.
  • Needs proper configuration of the "ajaxApi" credential within n8n to function correctly.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Providing incorrect or non-existent User Id, Hub Id, or Entity Id will likely result in errors or no changes.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors indicate issues with the API key; verify and update credentials.
    • Not found or invalid ID errors suggest checking the input property values for correctness.
    • Timeout or connection errors require checking network status and API availability.
